Patrick Stewart eh? Good thespian, not sure if he's evil enough though.

"Number 1, er I mean 'the child of Bhaal has awoken', yes that's it"

A sorcerer? In an action movie? "Take that foul demonic creature - oh hold on a minute, I'm out of spells, gotta run and hide and rest"

John Malkovitch must have some place in it, not sure where though...

Stewert could pull irenicus off..

I din't know Patrick Stewart was a thespian. Sure he is a bit foppish, but I figured he was straight.

Walken is great. More typecast as a bad guy though. Mae'Ver perhaps? Might pull Irenicus off. Like on 'View to a Kill' when he's going throught the mine-shaft with an Uzi. Heh.

Or as Edwin? Heyyyyyyy....!

the main protagonist should be a regular fighter - a kind of reluctant hero. or perhaps a bloke who everyone thinks is crap, but turns out to be an amazing sorcerer or something - a grand finale with him unleashing his hidden powers and killing irenicus.

ray park (darth maul, also toad in xmen) should play haer'dalis, and brad pitt as anomen

the movies:
1st- The Bhall menace.
2nd-
3rd-
4th- A new spawn.
5th- Irenicus Strike Back.
6th- Return of Spawn.

A movie base on the Drizzt books (any triology) would be better.

OH come on you need Sean Connery as Keldorn.

Alec Baldwin as Aran Lindville, good cold thief face.

Put Mel Gibson in it and I'll come to see it.

(yes very shallow) And if the lead is a fighter or paladin cast him for the lead.
I think the protagonist would be a male and the Jaheira romance would be used.
(If you make a series, you can put every romance in.)

If Tyra Banks isn't cast as Viconia, I don't want to see it!

Yo Bro!!! Tyra is a great one for Vic... But she acts like a cucumber, and Vic's part is kinda tricky...

Isn't it better to hire a casting director to do the dirty job???

Jhareth of house Noquar · Fri Jan 12, 2001 3:36 pm

OH... she has to be able to act too? Oh well...

Rebecca Romaijn Stamos as Viconia. We all already know she looks very hot in Blue body paint. (Lucky basterds who painted her...) Plus, we know she can play a semy evil type person.

Vote for Sean Connery as Keldorn.

Patrick Stewart for Irenicus.

A big bald guy to play Minsc.

And depending on the age and class, Russal Crowe for the Protagonist.

Please, shot me down if you must, but that would be a fun cast.

How about the guy that played the mummy in The Mummy for Irencicus (Arnold Vosloo, am not sure about the name) he sure as hell has the right voice for it. (and face and he's bald. ohh, or he could play Minsc...)

Anatres · Post by **Anatres** » Fri Jan 12, 2001 4:10 pm

OK....

Connery as Keldorn is perfect - Highlander comes to mind.
Stewert as Irenicus is also good - Locusus(sp) the Borg.
DeVito as Jan is almost too good.
Gibson would make a better Har'Dialas(sp) - ever see his Hamlet? yeeechhhhh.
Costner as Anomen - the character that is most often 'out of character' - ever see his Robin Hood?
Arnie as Minsc is perfect!!!!! - if anyone can play a character that's been dropped on his head once too often - I rest my case.
Wesley Snipes as Valygar - no reason, just sounds good.
Jackie Chan as Yoshimo - can't think of any other Oriental actors... Bruce Lee being dead and all!

Now for the women....
Salma Hyaek as Jaheira (who better to romance!?!?!)
Gillian Anderson as Imoen - has that 'not-quite-innocent' persona.
Sandra Bullack(sp) as Aerie - hate them both!!!
Melanie Griffith as Nalia - perfect voice!
Halle Barry as Viconia - perfect fit, lovely but evil....

And that's my $5.00 worth...

Actually I don't think it would work any better than the two Dune movies did. Although the six hour extravaganza FOX produced recently was a fair representation of the original book.

Ubik · Post by **Ubik** » Fri Jan 12, 2001 4:14 pm

Nope, that cast sucks (

) Still, I am not going to shoot you down, instead I will post my own cast here:

Protagonist: Brad Pitt (he is in his early 20's, remember? R.C. is about 40 right now!)

Viconia: Damned, I cannot come up with a valid name for her... ok, Salma Hayek in blue-black body painting (ok, ok, I know i am obsessed but...)

Keldorn: Sean Connery. Great choice. The coolest guy in film bussines.

Imoen: Down hands Angelina Jolie.

Jaheira: Brad's former gf (before he married my fellow greek ms-nice-girl) i don't remember her name right now

Korgan: Harvey Keitel (err... with the appropriate technical work, you know)

Jan Jansen: Danny de Vito. Period.

Minsc: Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Aerie: (find me a whining virgin, plz!!!)

Bodhi: Whynona Rider

Irenicus: John Malkovic (admit it, he IS the perfect choice)

Anomen: The greatest Dork in film industry (not sure who... maybe somebody like Tom Cruise? Nah... he acted in a Kubrik film, not dork enough)

Jhareth of house Noquar · Fri Jan 12, 2001 4:17 pm

I like the Winona as Bodhi idea!
Can we at least cast Tyra in a smaller role, say in the copper coronet?

OK- how Kate Hudson as Aerie, Ubik. Still think you should ditch Salma for Tia.

This has to be the subject that proves we're all sick and twisted! Anyway - it's great!!! Don't wanna do a complete cast but just say that: Malkovich would indeed be perfect for Irenicus, Ubik. Still - the one that made me laugh was Wawerlys Christopher Walken idea.
